APPLE and ORANGE ARE FRUITS

Last week, we watched a movie named <MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING>. This a romantic movie. And the story is about a 30-year-old American-Greek girl(Toula) gets married with a American boy(Ian). She is not beautiful and she has nothing special. Her father never stops talking about Greek tradition. When she saw the man at the first sight, she fell in love with him. But his father said she was too old to get married.She didn't give up.And she tried her best to change herself. She weared beautiful clothes and made up carefully everyday.And she also learnd computer then she got a new job which needed her computer skills. One day, she received the great present that God gave her. Ian passed her office and noticed her. So they started their love journey. And at the end, they married with each other.

The things I want to talk about are cultrual background, one character(Toula's father) ,and the music.

First,the story is a very common story, but one thing makes it a little special. That is the different cultural background.Toula was born in a Greek family and she lived in the U.S. So if she wanted change, she should be more like American.And she made it. Ian treated both culture equally. And he was willing to learn differnt culture including language. As a result, both of them became half American and half Greek. They were same.

Second, let's talk about Toula's father. At first, he was a stubborn man. He said Toula was too old to get
married. When he saw Ian the first time, he was so angry. He wanted to protect his family and tradition. Acctually, what he did were all for his families. He always took a windex. That was his weapon to protect his families and medicine to cure everyone. When Toula's mother hurt herself, he took out his windex and sprayed. And as we can see when the whole families was preparing for Toula and Ian's wedding, Ian was burnt by hot foods, he took out his "medicine" immeatly and cured him. That means he regarded Ian as one of his families. At their wedding, he gave them a house as a gift. He realized his daughter's  happyness was the most important thing but he didn't give up his family and tradition. So their house was next to his own house. The most spendid words that he said touched me so much was:" You are apples, and we are oranges, but at the end, we are fruits!"

By the way, I want to say someting about the music. When the movie started, the sound of guitar came up with pitter-patter, gently, slowly, and romantically.Just as the love between Toula and Ian, gentle, slow,and romantic.
